Registration of passports: myths and reality

Registration of passports: myths and reality

On the eve of the holiday season Ukrainian increasingly thinking about holidays abroad. Although the financial opportunities of today is not all, many wish to have the documents ready - just in case.

But facing these issues. Where better to turn to their design? Should I apply to travel agencies and firms that offer mediation services? Where is cheaper and where - faster? What should be the passport, biometric or regular? And is it true that for registration of "zahranky" child additional documents?

These and other issues in order to correct the most common false thoughts on this occasion, the head of the State Migration Service of Ukraine in Dnipropetrovsk region Sergey Kalinichenko provided answers to all of those who process passport registration ahead.

- Sergei Alexandrovich, where should I start? What documents needed for processing passport? Does he really is the minimum?

- A citizen who wants to administrative services in the form of processing passport, refers to the Department of Migration Service and to provide proof of your identity is your passport of citizen of Ukraine.

- So that, nevertheless, the value of the document, which is essential to cross Ukraine?

- It is believed that processing passport is expensive. In fact, everything depends on the timing of execution of documents, as well as on what exactly you want to get a passport.

This can be done in the Department of the State Migration Service. There passport without an electronic chip in the case of registration within 20 working days will cost 495.47 USD. Expedited processing of the document (for 7 days) will cost 752.62 USD. Biometric passport (with an integrated electronic chip) provided in the SMS registration within 30 days will cost 561.47 USD, but for the immediate execution of this document will have to pay 818.62 USD.

- What about help from the military? Some believe that such a passport registration certificate mandatory?

- To date, adding the appropriate reference to the documents submitted for registration of passport for traveling abroad, was not provided. Moreover, in December 2013 the rate for men 18-25 years of compulsory reference letter from the military commissariat canceled.

- Another myth that we ask the disprove - a procedure for processing passport for the child. It is believed that it is complex and requires a large number of documents.

- In fact it is not so. The process of filing for registration of the passport of the child is as follows. Both parents must be present at the filing of the passports of citizens of Ukraine, the birth certificate of the child. Children over 12 years photographed on site, children under 12 can also take pictures directly to the Department of Migration Service. Parents or children serving size photographs 3,5h4,5 2 cm and one large - 10x15 cm. Photos should be on matte paper with 70% of a child's face on a white background.

- There is a perception that a passport can be issued only in the community.

- Actually, no restrictions. The passport for travel abroad can be issued in any department of the State Migration Service of Ukraine, regardless of registration.

As for travel companies or other organizations, advertising and which flies the Internet that promise without carefulness in the short term to issue a passport to travel abroad or "hold" filing turn, then these services should not korystatysya. Only the State Migration Service of Ukraine has the legal right and authority to issue passports to citizens of Ukraine documents. Respect their time and do not forget about their legal rights for administrative services without intermediaries.

- What is the question queue, as citizens have long tired of exhausting bureaucratic procedures for administrative services? Quarrels in long queues, limited office hours, due to be put off work or important matters, dark rooms, spiteful officials, some of whom hope to bribe - all want to forget a nightmare ...

- Today the residents and guests of our city and region on the platform iGov.org.ua receive government services electronically, including registered in the queue to apply for registration of passport of citizen of Ukraine. Today, in the Dnipropetrovsk region increased the number of installed workstations. By the end of the year to improve the public service will be set following additional devices in all territorial units of service.

Thereafter, in order to simplify procedures for receiving citizens of Administrative Services Migration Service plans to introduce in the e-mail of all three possible types of entry, namely through the official website of Migration Service (online) to the selected and available in the system date and time (no more than two weeks in advance); through the terminal in the territorial unit of the selected and available in the system date and time (no more than one month ahead) and through the terminal in the territorial division of Migration Service in the current place (today). Each of the three possible types of records will operate simultaneously and independently of each other.

At the same time I would like to bring to attention that each person can from today via the Internet to see the state of the design or manufacture of passports. For this you need only go to the official website of Migration Service Ukraine. Service to avoid cases where unscrupulous employees of migration service can artificially "tighten" the issuance of passports.

At the same time, for the convenience of citizens in the Department Migration Service Ukraine in Dnipropetrovsk region are "hot" telephone line numbers are listed on the website of the Main Department.

No doubt. I see that Ukrainian international passport is the most expensive personal document in the whole worth. Whilst Ukrainian wages and salary is the lowest in Europe. Is then an Ukrainian international passport available only for rich men? Where are human rights? Where are citizen's rights. Do they exist only theoretically? Only rich Ukrainian can afford an international passport. I have a friend in Ukraine. I am a Pole She's invited to Poland to me. However she is not able to pay this (for her) astronomic fee for a passport when she earns circa USD 55 while a passport fee amounts to circa USD 500. Then this is legal robbery.
